And idiotic as that post was, he wasn't directing his idiocy at another user. (I didn't read the whole thread, admittedly, nor am I about to.) I was slapped down recently just for asking a guy who'd had an extended whinge/ rant whether he felt all right. I wasn't even trying to belittle him, I just wanted him to see his feelings were out of context. That's all, just asking "Blimey, are you feeling all right?" Hmm maybe that does sound a bit sarcy on reflection (tho it wasn't meant) but it's the height of civilisation compared to what is "perfectly acceptable" in /this/ forum. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
